Project overview

Project brief

Design three websites on the fictional IPTS: the Interplanetary Travel Syndicate, a bustling transportation network that shuttles people from world to world within our galaxy.

• Create a design system

• Use at least 5 components in each website

Me

UX Designer at The Container Store learning more about design systems with Dan Mall and the rest of the Dribbble team.

Understanding the user

N/A: not the point of this project!

Ideation, wireframing, prototyping

I gathered some ideas using ChatGPT before wireframing the first site, and then started designing.

Notes and Observations

1. Customizing a component is way easier when you know how it will be used on different pages

2. Taking notes and documenting as you go is difficult and distracting - definitely a habit that I'll need to work on

3. Going right into a design without research and adequate time to prototype or wireframe seems like it should be illegal but here we are!

4. Overall, this assignment helped a lot with my confidence working with variants, although I still need work on limiting when I actually create a component and follow the "3 minimum" rule

Part 2: Rebrand

Notes & Observations

Not a ton changed besides the colors and logos, so I lucked out that way. I had mostly everything linked correctly EXCEPT the colors, which was a pain. I can imagine how it would be a huge problem for a bigger site. All in all, though, I think it worked pretty well!
